Vancouver Island, especially Victoria is home to some of the cleanest, low mileage cars in the country. If you’re in the market for a used car - whether it’s a first car, an upgrade or a replacement, I’m here to guide you through the process of buying a vehicle that suits your needs and price. My passion for the auto industry began as a child and by the time I turned 19 I had bought and sold nearl

y 100 cars. My love for cars turned into a successful 23 year career as a red seal certified autobody technician where I became familiar with the models, technology and common issues of a variety of brands. I use the experience and expertise from my automotive career, as well as the joy of buying, fixing and selling to give you honest advice on the used cars you’re interested in. It’s why my approach is different: I never sell a car; I only help you buy one. I'm a licensed wholesale buyer and auto broker, bonded and insured, connected to and buying from a network of local new car dealers. If you can’t find what you’re looking for out there, give me a call. There’s no pressure, we’ll work together to find a great used car that’s a great fit.

Changing the oil in the Z/28, wondering if any of my local Victoria friends have a source for used oil analysis?

I couldn’t find anything local but did find BTA in Kamloops that says they do it, and that they regularly get oil samples sent in from the island.

And thats a wrap! Super proud of this stock appearing combination for my GTO. Built with a 60 year old intake and carbs,...

And thats a wrap! Super proud of this stock appearing combination for my GTO. Built with a 60 year old intake and carbs, OEM iron cylinder heads, stock block, and cast iron exhaust manifolds. I wanted the engine bay to look factory stock to the average passer by. The hard core Pontiac guys will see that it isnt all 1965, but it all looks clopse to correct. Thanks to Dave for his knowledge, passion and expertise in putting this combination together. Dave and I have been friends for nearly 40 years and he has helped me out in more ways than I can remember. We managed with some re jetting, and fine tuning to get a best pull of 478HP and 551 ft pounds of torque through the air cleaners and with 2.5" exhaust. The really cool part is that this combination is super driver friendly with 18" of vacuum and very good idle quality. Peak torque is at a tire shredding 3700 RPM. Couldnt be happier with the results and cant wait to get the engine back in the car.

Tuning continues on the daily driven Z/28 with the addition of a progressionignition (Thanks Ted!) ignition distributor.

Took an afternoon to install including finding a clean 12 volt source and going through my box of GM wiring to steal the correct connector to make this a plug and play install.

Very simple set up and the ability to adjust timing and vacuum advance from your phone once it's all set up.

So far it's been absolutely awesome with improved cold starts and has completely solved the minor off idle stumble I couldn't seem to tune out of the original set up.

Still quite a few more details to sort out, but right now driving it doesn't suck and I'm racking on the miles every day delivering parts, seeing vendors and clients.
